228. The rudiments of the telephone bug
The Dementors outside Hogwarts Castle were evacuated with Peter Pettigrew, and they returned to Azkaban to carry out their duties of guarding the prisoners, and the weather returned to its previous state, although it was still sunny and raining for a second, but at least it was not rainy all the time.
Lupin, who had mastered the method of turning back into a human, was full of spirit and worked harder to teach the young wizards.
"Today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is about. How to deal with the black magic - Oolong Dispatch. ”
The content of learning has also gradually shifted from black magic creatures to black magic confrontations.
After all, the number of dark magic creatures is limited, and Lupin can only get 4X level if he dies, and black magic creatures like 5X level are beyond Lupin's ability, such as the Voldemort Bat Lupin, who has a similar Chinese name to Voldemort, can not get it for the time being.
The number of these things is so rare that the wizarding world is already considering whether to include this creature in the list of extinct magical creatures.
The basilisk had almost been included before.
Learning how to fight against the dark arts is also the focus of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and it is also the core content, which is divided into two sections, one is the confrontation when the dark magic is cast, and the other is the removal of the dark magic after it takes effect.
First of all, the first section says that it is the confrontation when the dark magic casts, but in fact, it is more accurate to think that the defense when casting the spell.
In the general understanding, there is black and there is white, so the spell against black magic should be white magic.
But in fact, although there is black magic in the wizarding world, there is no such thing as white magic.
In the wizarding world, spells that defend against dark magic are collectively referred to as guardian charms.
The Patronus Charm is one of the higher spells, and the ancient spell that Lily used to protect Harry at the cost of her life can also be placed in the realm of the Patronus Charm.
Of course, battles change as the situation changes, and there is no specific battle mode.
If you're strong enough, you don't need a guardian charm at all, and you can even use the 'Remove You Weapon' as an offensive and defensive tool.
Under Lupin's tutelage, the young wizards learned many different kinds of guardian charms.
The second section is the removal of black magic after it takes effect.
What is involved here is a counterspell.
The vast majority of spells have counterspells, even the Dark Arts, and a good Dark Arts Defense Master needs to be proficient in these spells.
For example, the powerful black magic of Divine Blade Shadowless, once hit by this spell, it will bleed nonstop, and the wound is very difficult to heal, and its counterspell is - fast healing.
Injuries caused by dark magic (evil spells) are very difficult to treat without knowing the anti-spell.
Therefore, there are potions that can regenerate bones, but there are still people who lose their legs and hands, just because they can't find what kind of black magic they have fallen into, and they can't find the anti-curse.
Of course, being hit by many black magic at the same time will also produce mutations, which will be more difficult to treat.
It is worth mentioning that the reverse spell is not the closing of a valve, and the dark magic is not the opening and closing of a valve, but a kind of backtracking of the previous release of the spell.
It is the best and most effective way to undo the damage caused by the dark arts.
It can be said that every good master of defense against the dark arts is a master of anti-spell and defense.
The little wizards greedily absorbed the knowledge taught by Lupin, and the pace of learning was jaw-dropping.
Even Lupin himself was saying that if he taught them another year or two, he might have to squeeze all the knowledge he knew.
There's Dudley, there's the discipline group, and the third-year Hogwarts can't do it.
It's not just the subject of Defense Against the Dark Arts, but all of them are rolled, even preparing for the exam. The fifth graders of LS are all going to be surpassed by this group of crazy third graders.
In the Magical Beasts Protection class, while the other young wizards are basking in the joy of observing unicorns, Hagrid quietly pulls Dudley aside.
"Dudley, I've successfully bred the third generation of shelled carnivorous slugs."
A new batch of carnivorous slugs has once again been successfully bred under the cultivation of the Master of Fantastic Beast Hybrids, and now a new generation has hatched.
Hagrid looked very happy, and his obsession with Fantastic Beasts had reached unimaginable levels.
Especially the feeling of cultivating a new species on his own is simply great for him.
"Their shells are fully defensive, and I think they should be able to do what you want."
Hagrid said as he lifted the crate and showed Dudley his work, the shelled carnivorous slugs had grown to four or five times their size, a little bigger than a normal man's slap.
This third generation of shelled carnivorous slugs has basically left the category of carnivorous slugs and is developing towards a completely new species.
"How? Not bad, right? By the way, yes, there's good news, the sphinage has finally managed to impregnate several fire crabs, and I think it will be a little while before they can give birth to another new species. What kind of baby will it be? I can't wait."
Hagrid said even more excitedly, he was more satisfied with the pregnant fire crab than the shelled carnivorous slug.
Perhaps because of the giant's blood in his body, Hagrid instinctively approached dangerous creatures, and the more dangerous the species, the more cute he felt in his eyes.
In addition, as a half-blood giant, not to mention the rough skin and thick flesh, the physical attack is extremely high, Hagrid can suppress ninety-nine percent of the magical creatures with pure physical strength, and one of the fierce beasts in the Forbidden Forest has basically been beaten by him.
Otherwise, why do you think he brings new magical creatures in every class, and most of them are ferocious magical creatures.
"Phone bugs"
"What?"
Hagrid, who was in the midst of excitement, didn't hear clearly.
"From now on, these shelled carnivorous slugs will be called phone bugs, and that's the new name I gave them."
Dudley grabbed a phone bug and took a closer look, and under Dudley's close gaze, the phone bug seemed to feel great danger, and the whole worm shrank into its shell and refused to come out.
After weighing it in his hand a few times, these magic snails with teeth already have the conditions to transform into real phone bugs.
As for whether it can be successful, it will not be known until after the transformation.
"Phone bugs? What a strange name? I was going to call them shells. ”
Hagrid's face was full of regret.
"What is a Dudley phone?"
It's not Dudley's delusion, he always feels that since he defeated Hagrid, this guy has been very interested in him, and more often than not, he will even take the initiative to curry favor.
I don't know where the inexplicable closeness comes from.
I don't seem to have the ability to draw any giant affinity.
